About H3 Max VHS

Generates 768p VHS-style video with audio. `damage_level` is light, medium (default) or heavy, from subtle noise to strong tracking distortion. An optional `image_url` sets the first frame and canvas; a 4:3 image gives the classic frame. `duration` is 5 to 15 seconds, and `aspect_ratio` applies to text-only generation.

Parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native name, not both. Canonical names
